The event consisted of two-days-and-a-half conference that took place in the DHUB Museum in Barcelona, the central pole of creative activities in Catalonia (Spain) and considered the capital of architecture and design. The conference implemented the objectives through four main axes with a common thematic denominator: the CCIs, the NEB, cities, and citizens.
1. Innovation in the Cultural and Creative Industries.
2. European culture in the New European Bauhaus.
3. Art and quality of life in the cities.
4. People’s engagement.
The event included also two social events in the Opera House of Barcelona and the CosmoCaixa Science Museum, with the participation of artists, scientists, technologists, and citizens, around inclusion and social welfare in a broader sense (in line with the EU’s priorities). They especially followed the concepts of the NEB connecting culture and innovation for the society.
The Conference also included side events that completed the programme:
- Space forum of science, design, culture, and art. Roundtables in the same venue in parallel of the main event as a meeting point for universities, research centres, companies, industries, cultural and creative entities, artists, public agencies, municipalities, civil organizations, and citizens, among others.
– European Urban Art Award-Recognition, thank to the project Circular Cities Challenge opened to European creative talents: the creation and exhibition of artefacts that improve the lives of citizens and connect innovative practices and emergent technologies with cultural heritage in design, architecture, and making practices.
